Questions to Ask When You Call
You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

“Beautiful well maintained national cemetary in Springfield. Has many memorials, paths, and benches in a quiet neighborhood area. Also has a section of Lake Springfield for fishing and the Trail of Honor for walking.”
— Nicole Hood
“The cemetery is absolutely beautiful. The thing that bothered me was I know they are a busy cemetery but service should not be a rushed thing. Families are going through a very difficult time, don't push them out after 10-15 minutes. Also the service Is Not The Time to tell the grieving spouse they before they leave you need to have them go over paperwork. It was a bit tasteless as the grieving spouse is setting there crying trying to deal with family in the 10-15 minutes allowed.”
